Which of the following represents a geometric series (remember what a series is as opposed to a sequence)?

Mathematics

juin [17]3 years ago

Answer:

4 + 12 + 36 + ...

Step-by-step explanation:

4, 12, 36, ... is a geometric sequence, it has a common ratio of r=\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12}{4}=3

When we add the terms of a geometric sequence we get a geometric series.

4+12+36+ ... is a geometric series, it has a common ratio of r=\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12}{4}=3

4 + 12 + 20 + ... is not a geometric series because it has no common ratio

\frac{20}{12}\ne \frac{12}{4}

The second choice is correct

Q1. The answer is x = 1, y = 1, z = 0

<span>(i) -2x+2y+3z=0
</span><span>(ii) -2x-y+z=-3 
</span>(iii) <span>2x+3y+3z=5
</span><span>_________
Sum up the first and the third equation:
</span>(i) -2x+2y+3z=0
(iii) 2x+3y+3z=5
_________
5y + 6z = 5

Sum up the second and the third equation:
(ii) -2x-y+z=-3 
(iii) 2x+3y+3z=5
_________
2y + 4z = 2


(iv) 5y + 6z = 5
(v) 2y + 4z = 2
________
Divide the fifth equation by 2
(iv) 5y + 6z = 5
(v) y + 2z = 1
________
Multiple the second equation by -3 and sum the equation
(iv) 5y + 6z = 5
(v) -3y - 6z = -3
________
2y = 2
y = 2/2 = 1


y + 2z = 1
1 + 2z = 1
2z = 1 - 1
2z = 0
z = 0


-2x-y+z=-3
-2x - 1 + 0 = -3
-2x = -3 + 1
-2x = -2
x = -2/-2 = 1



Q2. The answer is x = -37, y = -84, z = -35

<span>(i) x-y-z=-8 
(ii) -4x+4y+5z=7 
(iii) 2x+2z=4
______
</span>Divide the third equation by 2 and rewrite z in the term of x:
(iii) x+z=2
z = 2 - x
______
Substitute z from the third equation and express y in the term of x:
<span>x-y-(2-x)=-8 
x - y - 2 + x = 8
2x - y = 10
y = 2x - 10
______
Substitute z from the third equation and y from the first equation into the second equation:
</span><span>-4x + 4y + 5z = 7 
-4x + 4(2x - 10) + 5(2 - x) = 7
-4x + 8x - 40 + 10 - 5x = 7
-x -30 = 7
-x = 30 + 7
x = -37
y = 2x - 10 = 2*(-37) - 10 = -74 - 10 = -84
z = 2 - x = 2 - 37 = -35</span>

erik [133]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

                      18-20                  Not 18-20           Total

Male                0.23                    0.35                 0.58

Female            0.16                     0.26                0.42

Total                0.39                    0.61                   1

P(female or between 18-20) = P(female) + P(18-20) - P(Female and 18-20)

P(female or between 18-20) =  0.42+0.39-0.16

P(female or between 18-20) = 0.65

Hence, our required probability is 0.65.

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

3x - 8 = 22

Step 2: Add 8 to both sides

3x = 30

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3

x = 10
